New Year's Eve was spent getting Fluff an enema and cleaning up "the aftermath". We were out of town last week and our cat sitter wasn't able to give her the daily wet-food-and-miralax combo that keeps her regular so she got all backed up and uncomfortable while we were gone.

Today we are giving her a sink bath to get her nice and clean again.

This is one way to set the mood for 2023.

I don't know why, but I'm always surprised by the amount of onion you get out of one onion - since it's made entirely of onion.

It shouldn't strike me as so odd, since tons of other vegetables are also made up entirely of themselves. Maybe it's because I'm usually cutting onions in the context of peppers, and you get such little pepper out of each pepper.

This time every year, I'm reminded that my wife and I have a bit where whenever the sand truck comes by before a snow storm we say "Sandtruck" in a Pokemon voice and pretend it is an evolution of Sandshrew and Sandslash.

Anyway, any artists accepting commissions willing to draw me up a sand truck as a pokemon?

Note: this isn't for any sort of holiday gift so there is absolutely no rush - just looking to bring this long-running bit to life at some point.

What do y'all call the little mini bottles of alcohol? You know, those little bottles you get on airplanes or find littered on the side of the road?

I heard the other day that "nips" might be a regional term here in New England.
